  • Please God.
  • Oh Ross ... dammit. But good there is an option. Fervent prayers ascending that you get approval for the next thing and the gift of more time.

    Wow. Thank you all! It really makes a difference.

    This might be my imagination but, even as my hair falls out, my nails seem to be growing faster. Is this possible?
  • Are you getting lines across your nails, moving outwards as the nails grow? The lines could be related to the cycle of chemotherapy, so it may be that you are simply noticing the nail growth more than you would usually do.

    IANAD, but a quick Google 'nail changes during chemotherapy', or words to that effect, leads to several websites describing various changes that can occur to finger- and toe-nails as a result of chemotherapy.

  • Mum had her second dose of chemo today. Given the brain fog caused by the first dose, I'm rather dreading the further decent into the wonderful world of side effects...

    Also dreading seeing my father's anxiety spiral to the point where he just stared at my mum constantly waiting for her to explode......

    Kyrie eleison.

  • Whenever I pray, you guys are the first who are named - and I'm sure that no-one minds that Ross is at the top of the list.
  • O indeed not - I rather hope she's at the top of God's list, too.

    IYSWIM.

    That choked me up a little. Thank you.
  • Ach... A close friend has suddenly had a diagnosis of colon cancer that appears to be well advanced. As so often happens, it might have been detected earlier if he'd had a routine colonoscopy, which is recommended for most people in and beyond middle age. I hope and pray that he will make it, and as he has always taken care of his body, we are hopeful. But the moral is: Up yours - have a colonoscopy!

    My stepfather's aggressive prostate cancer has recurred, though there are reasons I can't get a good grasp of how serious the situation is. I rhink mild to moderate at this point.

    Holding all here, and all they hold dear, in the light of hope.

    Just seen my oncologist. At the end I asked him if he was sure I had cancer - overall I feel well, and am feeling a bit of a fraud. He replied it might not be as bad as he first thought; which is good, but confusing.

    Ah well, more chemo on Wednesday, and then some scans to see what is going on inside me. My soap opera continues.

    Pride goes before "of lions", and various other things. I am now in an annoying amount of pain, but it's from a frozen neck, which is rather frustrating.
  • Oh dear! Sorry about the pain, glad about the doctor. What a life!

    My husband had a frozen neck last year and it was the only time ever that I got him to go to the doctor without a lot of begging and pleading -- which tells you something.

    Awww.

    So much sympathy to you two and all here.

    ST - you are so right. If D. had gone to see a doctor when he first started to feel unwell, he might have been here yet. :cry:

    Oh, Piglet - I should have kept it to myself for now. It's too soon - sorry...

    I'm having a liver biopsy in the morning; they will be removing seven pieces of tissue under local anaesthetic. They only need two to ascertain whether or not I qualify for the next study, but have requested the other five for other researchers and other studies. Because I have benefited so much from the sacrifices and research of others, I feel it is morally incumbent upon me to let them take what they need, but it's likely to be painful. Your prayers, as always, would be appreciated.
